What if your greatest weakness could become God’s greatest opportunity? In this message, Pastor challenges us to move beyond the paralyzing fears of inadequacy and inability that often prevent us from living God’s mission. Through compelling examples of Moses, Isaiah, and Paul, he reveals how God consistently uses imperfect people to accomplish His perfect purposes. Like Moses questioning his abilities, we often focus on our limitations—but God’s response remains unchanged: “I will be with you.” This message shows how our perceived inadequacies become the very spaces where God’s power shines brightest. Ready to see your weaknesses transformed into Kingdom victories? Listen, receive, and respond.

1 – The message discusses how fear of inadequacy can paralyze us from starting God’s mission. How does believing we’re ‘never enough’ actually reflect a lack of trust in God’s power?
– Application: What areas of your life do you feel inadequate in, and how might viewing those inadequacies through God’s strength rather than your own change your perspective?

2 – The sermon references Moses’s conversation with God in Exodus, where Moses repeatedly expresses his inadequacy. How does God’s response to Moses demonstrate His approach to using imperfect people for His perfect purposes?
– Application: When has God called you to do something that seemed beyond your capabilities, and how did that experience shape your understanding of depending on Him?

3 – How does Paul’s statement in 2 Corinthians 12:9 about God’s power being made perfect in weakness challenge our modern views of qualification and capability?
– Application: What weaknesses in your life might actually be opportunities for God to show His strength through you?
